Estabrook vs.. Edward Christy-both resi-
dents of Folsom-came on for trial before
jury in Department One of the Superior
Court yesterday, and advanced to the TAX

nesses for the defense, when, at P. NJ,
the trial was postponed until tomorrow

$2500 for malicious prosecution. Several
months ago these parties had difficulty at

ROLLED IyTo THE RIvER.-Phe wreeking
car left yesterday afternoon for Castle
Creek, on the upper end of the California
and Oregon Railroad, to pick car out of
the Sacramento river. 1t seems that on the
previous evening an emigrant car, which
was being used as a caboose attached to
work train, got off the track near Castle
Creek, and rolled over upon its side. Sub
seuuently it took a new start, and rolled
into the river which at that point is only
about fifty feet from the track, and yester-
day was about half submerged. The
wreeking car was sent up to its rescue at
once, as a rise in the river might do it dam
age.
BIG CHINFsE.-The new Chinese Consul
for San Francisco came throughyesterday
morning from Washington, D. c., where

Chinese legation. He was accompanied by
All Lee, of Evanston, who has been in
Washington seeking redress for the loss
sustained by the Chinese who last summer
were driven from the coal mines on the I'm
ion Pacific Railroad. He says that he was
successful in his undertaking. In a few
DAVIS he will return to Evanston. where his
business of furnishing Chinese labor is too
lucrative to be abandoned. 1t has already
made him very wealthy.
